Business Leadership Microcredential

Designed to be meaningful, high-quality education programs to verify, validate and attest to specific skill sets and competencies of an individual, microcredential programs differ from degree and certificate programs in that they are generally offered in shorter or more flexible time spans with a narrow focus.

The microcredential in Business Leadership will enable learners to demonstrate competency in various aspects of business that are essential to successful leadership including marketing, management, entrepreneurship, accounting, and communications.  This microcredential offers flexibility in course options, allowing students to customize course selection to their individual goals. 

Students who complete the Business Leadership microcredential earn nine to ten college credit hours that may later be transferred to one of Jefferson's certificate or degree programs. Business Leadership course requirements are a perfect fit for JCC's Business Administration AAS and Applied Business Studies AOS degree programs.
